Liberty student gets Celtic scholarship

Celtic Cultural Alliance (CCA) has awarded a $500 volunteer scholarship to Elizabeth Anthony, a junior at Liberty HS who volunteered at the 2019 Celtic Classic Highland Games and Festival.

Elizabeth is the daughter of Ed and Robin Anthony of Hanover Township. She is a majorette in the LHSGB, plays lacrosse, is captain of the club cancer crushers and captain of the helping hands committee in BASD mini-thon. She is also a member of National Honor Society, Cops-n-Kids, G.R.A.S.S. club, and S.A.D.D, and Key Club. She is employed as a youth girls’ lacrosse official and as a cashier at Skyzone.

Elizabeth said one of her highlights as a volunteer was speaking to a visitor using sign language that she learned from her ASL class at Liberty HS. Serving in three different areas of Celtic Classic, she said she “loved being a volunteer at Celtic Classic because it brings the community together to celebrate and promote the Celtic culture, which is my heritage.”
